James Yuill

Earth & Fire EP

Album released 07/12/2009

After a hectic 18 months taking his live show around the world, playing everywhere from the Radio One Big Weekend to a beach in the Bahamas and supporting the likes of Zero7 and Royksopp, James is preparing to head back to the studio to record his next album. But before he returns with a follow up to Turning Down Water For Air, these two EPs take one last look back at this fantastic collection of songs, giving them a sonic re-fit in the process.

James Yuill's music a finely blended cocktail of one part camp fire introspection and one part disco ball madness, but for the Earth and Fire EPs he has allowed his musically split personality to fracture, re-imagining the original tracks for either the dancefloor or sofa. The resulting versions offer a fascinating companion piece to Turning Down Water For Air, and give some intriguing signposts as to where this talented young musician may travel next.
